  • Provisioning and configuring cloud resources across Azure (preferred), AWS, and GCP
  • Supporting on‑premise to cloud migration initiatives
  • Managing application source control and enforcing branching strategies
  • Maintaining consistent, secure and anonymised test data processes
  • Implementing automated testing within build and release pipelines
  • Working with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration frameworks
  • Performance and volume testing support for development teams
  • Setting up and maintaining NuGet/NPM repositories, IIS, and Node.js environments
  • Monitoring and diagnostics using tools such as Dynatrace, Grafana, OTel
  • Advocating for and implementing DevSecOps practices
  • Creating and maintaining technical documentation
  • Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives
  • Participating in an on‑call rotation for critical systems

  • Proficiency with Terraform for IaC
  • Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines, Boards, Artifacts)
  • Expert DevOps knowledge, including Agile and automation principles
  • Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker Compose
  • PowerShell and Bash scripting
  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals
  • Experience with .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, Node.js and React (beneficial)
  • SQL Server and NoSQL database knowledge
  • Windows and Linux server administration
  • Experience working with microservices architectures
  • DevSecOps tooling – e.g., SonarCloud, Prisma Cloud, CrowdStrike

About You

  • Passionate about automation, efficiency and modern engineering practices
  • Comfortable working in fast‑paced, collaborative environments
  • Strong problem‑solver with excellent analytical skills
  • Confident communicator able to collaborate across diverse technical teams
  • Enjoys learning, experimenting and driving technical improvements
  • Able to mentor others and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement

Why Join Us?

  • Work with modern cloud, DevOps and containerisation technologies
  • Freedom to propose new tools, approaches and innovations
  • Opportunities to influence technical direction
  • A supportive environment that encourages learning and experimentation
  • Exposure to a wide range of platforms, systems and architectural challenges
